The labor peace of Rictibc-g i es
se n 1 1 a 11 y te
ame from an in
ner viewpoint a
the rcliifloiii
peace of Augs
burg. In the Augs
burg peace (A.
D. 1555). two re
ligious t c tlons
agreed to cease
religious war faro
and to m cognize
the supremacy of
the Ocrman
PAUL MALLON
state.
In the Rlchberg peace i March 14.
1935), labor and the new dealer
agreed to stop fighting each other.
nd to recognlra the supremacy cf
the NRA state. In both oases It wa
more of an armed truce than a real
peace, and no one know how long
thl one will laat.
Very little publicity attended the
Rlchberg event, because no one wasj
extra proud ol It. The deil vra made
by the new deal merely tor the pur
pose of getting Its mild NKA reo--ganlzatlon
bill through congress.
The man who fired It was not Rlch
berg. but Averlll Harrlman, the In
visible manager of the existing NRA
organisation. He went to President
Roosevelt end submitted the basic
plan which caused Messrs. Rlchberg.
Oreen (A. F. of L.), Lewis (United
Mine Workers), and Hlllman (NRA).
to be called Into the White House.
Harrlman's part la being kctt quiet
for fear of disturbing the truce. Labor
does not like him and might with
draw If It suspected hl p:rt.
It wa clever a bargain a ever
has been made by five poker players.
I The hardest man to selr was Lewis.
He likes Rlchberg even less ths.n Gen
eral Johnson like Huey Long. In
preliminary conferences, he r.itly as
aerted he would have nothing to do
with NRA as long as Rlchberg was
connected with It. Vet jnder the
truce-pece. Rlchberg Is to b charl
jnan of NRA, and Lewis overjoyed.
There are two reason why Mr.
Lewis will now concede that perhaps
Rlchberg haa a kind face. T .e main
one Is that Lewis' rlghthand man
(Phillip Murray) wns put on the NRA
board of administration. T.'ila ap
pointment was, of course, made pub
licly. What waa not made public was the
fact that Mr. Lewis also got an un
derstanding that Mr. Rtehb-ig will
relinquish the NRA chilrmana'ilp
June 18 and have nothing to do wltn
NRA thereafter.
So all It really amounts to person
ally Is that Mr. Lewis has agreed 'or
a consideration to stop Dating r.
Rlchberg until noon. Juno 16.
What It amounts to politically is
that Mr. Roosevelt's NRA reorganis
ation plan Is rescued from tr.e brtnk
of the congressional Niagara.
At leat the Borah-N;-e onposltion
group suffered a major less of
strength when the Green-Lewls-A P.
of L. gang walked out on them. Tne
truce Is supposed to Include a spe
cific understanding that Orcen and
Lewis will cooperate in setting the
fCmlnlMratlon hill through Ve sen
ate. The radical NRA reorganization
bill (30-hour week. etc. I Is to be
dropped by Mr. Green.
What Mr. Oreen gets for celng so
kind Is supposed to be the Wagr.er
labor board bill. There seems to oe
some disagreement about how deftn
ite the White House prom.se was
about that, but the labor uroup a;r
now saving privately thut Mr. Roost
velt will either come out openly f'r
the bill or attempt to Jockey It

GAS THIEF NABBED
COAST MARITIME
Major Steamship Companies
Lining Up With Oil Tanker
Operators Secretary of
Labor Perkins Takes Hand
SAN FRANCISCO, March 27. ( AP) ;
A new crisis, recalling that which ,
led to lost summer's bitter general !
marine strike, confronted the Pacific j
coast maritime labor situation today.
Major grnerHl steamship companies I
here aligned themselves at least par
tially with oil tanker operators, more
than 30 of whose craft have been
tied up for more than two weeks, by
flatly refusing to grant or arbitrate
demand of the Masters. Mates and
Pilots union lor preferential employ
ment. Almost simultaneously Secretary of
Labor Frances Perkins, with the dec
laration negotlationa between tanker
operators and their union seamen
"have been, so far, fruitless." named
last night a special board of media
tion to seek settlement of that walk
out. The main Issue in the tanker dis
pute la the demand of the Interna
tional Seamen's Union for preferen
tial hiring of Its members.
Tha stand taken by tha operators
of freight and passenger vessels to
ward tha deck officers' demanda add
ed explosive possibilities to the tank
er walkout.
Strike leaders would not comment
directly or indirectly on whether It
might lead to another general marine
strike such as disrupted tha economic
life of tha entire Paclflo coast last
year, but indicated they planned
statement later.
' H. P. -Melnikow, counsel for the
unions on strike, however, asserted
It had "thrown a wrench In the
federal machinery for peace Just as
the federals were getting somewhere,"
and termed it "a move to stampede
tha unions Into precipitate action."
